spaced repetition - The flashcards app without distractions | Product Hunt

TL;DR; Here's the app, I've put a lot of love into it and I will never charge anything for it, let me know what you think: https://spaced.sh/

I've observed significant improvement in both my English and Spanish when I started to use the "Spaced Repetition" method for memorizing new vocabulary. The idea is super simple, basically you need to repeat information for it to stay in your memory for longer. There's been many experiments with optimal algorithms for reviewing information (one of the most popular implementations is in the famous Anki app).

You can do it yourself with paper flashcards as well and I used that method with almost a thousand flashcards. The only downside is that after some time it's much harder to keep track of what you already remembered for good and what should be reviewed once in a while. This is why software like Anki was created, to optimize this process.

However, after trying things like Anki, Ankimono and Quizzlet, I became frustrated with UI being ugly or unintuitive or too complex. I missed paper. I wanted to use a modern app that would be available anywhere I have access to a smartphone or a laptop but would be really simple and focused on the process of adding new cards and reviewing them.

I'm now at a point when my pet project is now the only tool I want to use for flashcards. Obviously it's perfectly tailored for me and for some people there will be lacking features or they won't know what a CSV file is for bulk import. But I thought this shouldn't stop me from sharing with others, because maybe there are people with similar taste to mine.

Cheers:)
